Musk isn't giving everyone a million dollars. He's giving people lottery tickets, and they might be worth a million dollars but are far more likely to be worthless.

You can buy such lottery tickets yourself, and they cost about the same as a cup of coffee.

There are lots of cafes that give free coffee to people wearing "I voted" stickers on Election Day. Is that illegal? Because it's basically the same thing.

Humans can move their heads to avoid glare. They can shield glare from their eyes with visors.

Tesla cameras currently can't do either.

Everyone thinks they know.

But the autopilot on an aircraft or ship is often just a cruise control, maintaining a constant heading, speed, and (for aircraft) altitude. The pilot or skipper remains 100% responsible for course changes and collision avoidance.

She is going to Michigan literally the day after the Texas visit.

Where she will be joined, for the first time, by Michelle Obama.

When salts dissolve in water, the resulting ions are surrounded by layer of water molecules known as a "solvation shell". Water molecules are polar, so they are attracted to ions for the same reason ions attract each other. Dissolved ions can travel through water freely but will remain surrounded by the solvation shell until something else binds to the ion.

So it's fair to say that a dissolved ion is more attracted to water molecules than to salt molecules. When a salt precipitates, the opposite is true.

Finally, a mixture of dissolved salts has the properties of its ions but no "memory" of the original salts. In other words, if you mix a solution of NaCl with a solution of KNO3, the result is the same as mixing solutions of NaNO3 and KCl.

EDIT

Bonus trivia: solvation shells are critical to how your neurons and muscle cells send electrical signals. Cellular electrical currents are carried by ions, including Na+ and K+. Cells need to distinguish those ions. How? The K+ solvation shell is larger than that of Na+. So cells conduct Na+ with pores that allow Na+ through but are too small for K+.

But what about selectively conducting K+? For that, the ion enters a ring that is the same size as the K+ solvation shell. The ring simultaneously grabs and rips off all the water molecules, so the K+ ion can pass through a tiny pore without its solvation shell. The Na+ solvation shell is too small for the ring, so the solvation shell cannot be grabbed and ripped off. Thus the Na+ ion cannot get through the tiny pore.

This is not a count, it's a poll of people who said they voted.

FWIW, studies have shown that voters are more likely to vote for a candidate they perceive as winning than one they perceive as losing.

IQ is your performance on an IQ test. It's not subjective at all, for the same reason that SAT math scores are not subjective.

The real question is whether SAT scores and/or IQ scores have anything to do with what we consider "intelligence".

Hi, I heard you like to cite Wikipedia.

Antisemitism[a] or Jew-hatred[2] is hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against, Jews.[3][4][5]

Due to the root word Semite, the term is prone to being invoked as a misnomer by those who incorrectly assert (in an etymological fallacy) that it refers to racist hatred directed at "Semitic people"

"When working for them" means "when they pay you". The point is that the corporation must financially compensate the artist. That's how copyright makes art into a livelihood.

Without copyright, corporations can use art without ever paying the artist at all.

Once the heart stops beating, the organs fail. Including the heart itself.

That's kind of the point of defining brain death. Normally death is declared after the heart stops beating. In brain death, the heart is beating but the brain is not receiving any blood.

She was caring for him for three years.

You cannot be brain dead for three years. Brain death is legal death. Once you are declared brain dead, you are officially a cadaver and won't be going home. You are going to the morgue that day, with possibly a brief initial stop in the operating room if you're an organ donor.

Without copyright, the artist would be unemployed. Because the corporation he now works for could just take his photos without paying him.

Copyright protects his livelihood. And THAT is one massive reason why copyright is necessary.

Sadly, rape and murder are all too human evils.

Maybe they are trying to convince you that Hamas is evil.

Well, Israeli war aims included diminishing Hamas. But they also included returning any hostages who are still alive. So I think the fighting will continue at least in the short term.

They didn't all go poof.

• Fani Willis indicted Trump and his crew with 41 charges.
• The judge said 6 of the 41 were too vague, the other 35 could proceed to trial.
• Willis is trying to get those 6 added back to the 35.

Not all moderates are Dems. Many are independents.

I see plenty of leftists saying things like "I refuse to vote for Democrats".

I see plenty of moderates saying things like "I usually don't vote the Democrats but this time I will".

It makes more sense for Democrats to appeal to the latter then the former.

That want their biggest supporters to vote for them.

But leftists are not their biggest supporters. Moderates are.
